Zipping





Steve and I went on a zip line tour in the California Redwoods. It was a total blast! What a sense of freedom to be sliding through the forest several hundred feet in the air! I loved the wind on my face and the views and the sense of freedom. Surprisingly, I wasn't that nervous or unnerved by the heights. You are expertly outfitted and cared for by two guides (thank you Tyler and Jim!) and are clipped to the safety lines at all times.


I highly recommend Mt Hermon's Redwood Canopy Tour: mount hermon.org/redwood-canopy-tours  (It's not far from Santa Cruz, south of San Jose if you want to get your bearings geographically)

Here are a few photos:
